TaintedLogic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[loss of innocence]

I love the instruments and the sound effect that sounds like rain. The emotion is fantastic. I didn't think you needed that crash at 1:04,1:26, 1:48, and wherever else it comes in. It ruins the mood a bit. However, the structure is good, and it even loops pretty well. Nice work as always! :D

johnfn responds:

Ha! I was really on the edge with that crash. On one hand it *is* the only percussion in the song... but on the other hand, without it, the transitions seem a lot more abrupt. Maybe I should have just turned it down. Thanks for dropping by :-)

[-Some Place-]

I love the melody and instruments. It's very blissful, and the funky, unorthodox bass that comes in at :33 and :39 and some other parts really adds a lot to the piece! :D I could see this as an awesome full-length track, maybe with a little more variation on the melody. Please keep working on this! Great start! ;D

hey thanks man! I really appreciate the comment. I will keep working on it trying to make a nice change or something :)

[Karmafield]

I like the mood at the beginning, as well as the instruments and sweeps and crash. It's nice and atmospheric. It doesn't progress quickly enough for my tastes, but it's great for some easy listening. The beat gave it a strange sort of energy, and I love the breakdown around 2:30. I liked the structure and transitions, and it seemed to go somewhere as a whole. Nice work! ;)

Alloud responds:

Thank you for the input, it's appreciated! I was definitely going for the atmospheric/easy listening thing; it's what I do for most of my tracks. If I ever try house again I'll probably go for faster progression and more dynamic song structure, so maybe something closer to electro house. The breakdown is actually my least favorite part, haha, but I'm glad you liked it. Thanks again.

[Salt, Water, and Iron]

I like the emotion and instruments. It's a little simple at times, but I like the transition at :54 and the percussion. The harmonies at 1:19 were a little strange, and the beat at 1:28 felt a little out-of-place, but I liked the guitar at 1:57. It helped set up the rest of the piece and made sure that the piece was taking a definitive direction as a whole. Overall, it's pretty good. I definitely like the structure and transitions, to say the least. ^^ Good luck at NGADM! ;)

geniebmusic responds:

Hi! Thank you for the review :) I appreciate it. One of my initial concerns was if the beat at 1:28 would have felt random, but I went in that direction because I didn't want to introduce that beat in the last section of the song; I wanted to introduce it earlier, and that spot at 1:28 was the best spot for me personally. However, if you had an issue with that spot, others may have issue with it as well. Again, thank you for the review! I will work harder. Good luck to you too! :D
